We need to make sure that the worst thing that a weird consensus param can do to us is to break our Tor (and only if the other Tors are reliably broken in the same way) so that the majority of directory authorities can't pull any attacks that are worse than the DoS that they can trigger by simply shutting down. One of these worse things was the cbtnummodes parameter, which could lead to heap corruption on some systems if the value was sufficiently large. This commit fixes this particular issue and also introduces sanity checking for all consensus parameters.
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
To build Tor from source:
./configure && make && make install
